Just a video I did up on the subject, I'm curious to hear what you guys think about season passes too.

I think they're fine. You can get them right away if you want but you certainly don't have to. You can purchase them at any point in time which essentially just makes them a bundle of the dlc that you can purchase cheaper then buying each piece seperately.

I'm fine with the concept, but I tend not to care because most DLC is about competitive multiplayer and I lost interest in competitive multiplayer once Starhawk died :cry:. However, I did buy Bioshock Infinite's Season Pass sight unseen because its SP only and I love Bioshock Infinite.

You get to buy DLC at a discounted price. What's not to like?

Paying for something before you have any idea what it is. Of course unless you wait until they're all released and the Season Pass is available. I generally stay away from DLC, and the BioShock Infinite's is the only Season Pass I'm taking a chance with so far. Overall, I guess there isn't anything actually wrong with them. It does save money for those who eat up DLC, though I still think most DLC is overpriced, sometimes even with a Season Pass.

Depends, if it contains worthwhile single player content such as extra missions, then yes. But if it's for multiplayer stuff then no I don't like it.

There's nothing wrong with them, they aren't mandatory.

for me at least it depends on what it offers as far as content go's

 

now online passes are a whole nother ballgame since i dont think anyone should have to pay 15 bucks to play the game online when they are paying 50 to 60 a year on xbox live

like the injustice dlc for example. i hated how that was promoted just for hype . by the season pass now find out who you bought later. if that isnt shady i dont know what is
